#### Borrowing Floating Licenses on Local Client

If it is required to use the software remotely on a computer with no connection to the network and the Local License Server, it is possible to "borrow" licenses from the Local License Server and "return" them after usage. This process is called "borrowing". The availability of borrowing depends on the software product being installed.

Borrowing and returning of licenses are managed through the View licenses dialog box within the software package (refer to the "Managing Floating Licenses on Local Clients" chapter).

To view the licenses for the software package:

- Click the View licenses link to display the View licenses dialog box from within the software package (refer to the "Managing Floating Licenses on Local Clients" chapter).

The View Licenses dialog box shows the Entitlement ID and all currently-activated options of the software package.
